Installed new version of iTunes and now my library is gone.

I installed the latest version of iTunes when I got a prompt on opening iTunes. When the installation was complete, all of my music was gone. I found my library and thought I imported it to my library correctly, but every time I quit iTunes, the next time I open it, I get a library window with only a few songs in it. I have to reimport my itunes music folder. This has happened several times. I'd like iTunes to open with my entire music folder laready in it. Please help.

This may help.

    Hey Debbiered1,
    Follow the steps in this link to resolve the issue:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    When you uninstall, the items you uninstall and the order in which you do so are particularly important:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Take care,

  • Installed new version of itunes and now my toshiba external hard drive won't mount

    All of my music and photos reside on this Toshiba hard drive. I successfully had itunes find the hard drive for the library. After I installed updated itunes to mac, the toshiba doesn't mount to any of my computers. (I've tried it on more than one) The light on the drive comes on, but I never see it on my desktop. Thank you for your help.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on anoterh computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I installed a new version of iTunes and now...

    I installed a new version of iTunes and now it doesn't recognize my phone. The phone software is up to date and working normally, but I would like to sync my phone and can't. Every time I plug my phone into the computer, which worked fine before the new iTunes software, my phone asks me "Do you trust this computer?" I have restarted my computer, and that didn't help. Also my computer will not recognize my phone, to download pics, after I've activated iTunes.
    Thanks for the help!

    found a solution for anyone else looking for it.

  • I down loaded a new version of Itunes and now I cannot purchase music. It keeps asking to verify my account info which I have many times. Help!

    I down loaded the new version of Itunes and now it will not allow me to purchase music. I have alidated my account information many times. Now it keeps asking me to do it over and over again.
    I have had my account for a long time.

    Do you currently have a credit card set up in your iTunes store Enter Payment Information screen?
    If so, grab a recent statement for that card and check to make sure that the address that shows up in your Enter Payment Information screenexactly matches the address showing on your credit card statement. For example, if your address in the credit card statement says "Street", the iTunes screen has to also say "Street" (Not St or Str.) Also match the capitalisation of the address on your statement. (If it says STREET in the statement make it say STREET in the iTunes screen, not Street or street.)
    Also make sure that your name in the iTunes screen exactly matches the one in your statement. (Say, if you've got a middle initial in the credit card statement name, you need one in the iTunes screen.)
    After doing that, does that get you past the invalid address thing?
    If not, there's some additional suggestions in the following post:

  • I downloaded the new version of itunes and now my ipod cant sync

    I recently downloaded the most recent version of itunes, and now all my playlists are gone and when I try to sync my ipod it says that all of my music will be deleted because my ipod is syncd with a different library. I am afraid that this means that all my playlists will be deleted, and I don't want to have to go through all my music and make new playlists. I just want to keep what I have. How can I do this? Can I get rid of this version and go back to the one I had? Is there a way around this problem?

  • I downloaded a new version of iTunes and now Firefox won't open iTunes

    I loaded new version of iTunes and Safari. When system restarted - iTunes won't open. I deleted Safari - still no go.

    I'm having this issue as well. Anytime I click on items that would normally open in Itunes, it tells me I need to install Itunes. I've uninstalled/reinstalled Itunes to no avail. In looking in Firefox's preferences, there's no reference to Itunes in the Applications tab.
